Scientists unearth the ‘holy grail’ of volcano research after finding way to predict eruptions – Study Finds
Scientists say they have discovered the “holy grail” of volcano research after finding a way to predict eruptions by looking at decades-old lava crystals.
STANFORD, Calif. — Volcanoes have long been a great source of mystique for scientists. In particular, figuring out how to detect an imminent eruption sooner to avoid deadly outcomes, such as the New Zealand eruption in 2019, is a top priority. Now, volcanologists say they have discovered the “holy grail” of volcano research after finding a way to predict eruptions by looking at decades-old lava crystals.
